Boys, Listen Up!

Bailie had this posted in her blog and I think a lot of these are good ideas. It's no secret that guys and girls view relationships differently, and often misinterpret one another's actions and words. Well guys, here are a few things you need to do in order for your girlfriend to know you love her (or at least care about her if you're not at the 'love' stage yet). And guys, even if you're single, these will still be helpful for future relationships (TEETZ! j/k, love you).

1. Tell her she is beautiful
2. Hold her hand at any moment . . . even if its just for a second.
3. Hug her from behind
4. Leave her voice messages to wake up to.
5. When she is upset, hold her tight and tell her how much she means to you.
6. Recognize the small things . . . they usually mean the most.
7. If youre talking to another girl, when your done talking, walk over and hug her and kiss her....let her know she's yours and they arent.
8. Write her notes or call her just to say "hi"
9. Introduce her to your friends . . . as your girlfriend.
10. Play with her hair.
11. Pick her up (she loves it)
12. Get upset if another guy touches her and she doesnt like it
13. Make her laugh
14. Let her fall asleep in your arms.
15. If she's mad at you, kiss her.
16. If you care about her, then (we all know this is a challenge) TELL HER
17. Every guy should give their girl 3 things: a stuffed animal(she'll hug it everytime she goes to sleep), jewelry(will treasure it forever), and one of his t-shirts (she'll most likely where it to bed) and don't forget to bring her flowers or something special once in a while.
18. Treat her the same around your friends as you do when your alone.
19. Look her in the eyes and smile.
20. Hang out with her on weekends (guys, this WILL NOT, i repeat WILL NOT kill you)
21.Kiss her in the rain (girls love this)
22.Kiss her just for the heck of it
23. If your listening to music, let her listen too.
24. Remember her birthday and get her something, even if its simple and inexpensive, it came from YOU. it means all the world to HER.
25. when she gives you a present on your birthday, Christmas, or just when ever, take it and tell her you love it, even if you don't (itll make her happy.)
26. Always call her when you say you will, it may not seem like it, but it does hurt her and makes her thinks you don't care so call even if you can only talk for a minute.

Sometimes it seems to me that guys and girls view relationship differently because people say that guys do and make lists like this to tell guys that they're too stupid to figure things out on their own. It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts.

Well, some guys need a little extra help. Some og these, I don't really agree with because I personally don't like them, such as #25, about the gifts. I'd much rather he actually like the gift he gets and actually gets some use out of it. However, I am a big fan of the hand-holding one, some guys don't realize how important that one is.

Alright, I have to say I really like #3. I'm a huge fan even if I tense up initially. (I have touching issues)

I don't agree with #15; if I'm honest-to-goodness pissed off at someone, I sure as hell wouldn't want them to be touching me that moment.

#17 is pretty cute, I like it.

I agree, I like hugs in general, even ones that are surprises. I do also like #17, and it is kind of funny because I am typing this I am getting ready to go to sleep and wearing, guess what, one of Drake's old t-shirts. For the most part I think they are cute ideas, though the one about always hugging your girlfriend after you talk to another girl makes one seem a little too possessive almost, like you're not secure enough, you know what I mean? Like, I have tons of guy friends, and my best friend is a guy, so if Drake wanted me to hug him every single time I talked to Teetz, well, I wouldn't have time to do anything else but run back and forth between them, talking and hugging, talking and hugging. Though I do enjoy both immensely....
